HISTORY: (Sleepwalker#9) - The O.I.E. sent agents
to assume command of Detective Perez's investigation of Sleepwalker. Perez
refused to sign the papers to transfer authority over to them. Before they
left they gave the detective a detector attuned to Sleepwalker's radiation
signature, claiming they would be back when they had proper authorisation.
After the police's encounter with Lullaby and Sleepwalker (to understand
why Sleepy was aiding a known criminal read
Lullaby's
profile), Perez called in the O.I.E.

(Sleepwalker#11(fb)) - As the O.I.E. began looking for
Sleepwalker they accumulated energy residue from Sleepwalker's warp
beam.

(Sleepwalker#10) - An O.I.E. agent burst into the Phelps'
family home having detected Sleepwalkers radiation on Mrs Phelps, who had
been saved from attackers by Sleepwalker previously. Other agents investigated
Lee's Food store where Sleepwalker had previously stopped a robbery. Unable
to locate him, Colonel Tolliver set up a temporary base of operations in
an area of Prospect Park used as a home by the homeless. Sleepwalker spotted
the commotion as O.I.E. agents approached the homeless people to help in
their search. The agents restrained Sleepwalker with their immobilisation
field and shot him with plasma energy pulses, but he warped sewer pipes out
of the ground to stop them. The O.I.E. used a spectral disrupter field to
scatter his warp beam, causing random damage. Sleepwalker stopped his warp
beams and tried to draw the agents away from the innocent people. He tricked
them into shooting in the direction of Rick Sheridan's home. The explosion
woke Rick, and Sleepwalker returned into his mind. The O.I.E. got a reading
on Sleepwalker and sent the information back to base. The energy frequencies
they recorded where almost identical to those of human brainwaves, confirming
Tolliver's belief that Sleepwalker hid inside a human mind. He had his agents
round up the locals to prepare for a mindscan, starting with the homeless.
Sleepwalker returned and the Colonel ordered his men to kill him. Before
the nearest agent could do so Sleepwalker smashed his weapon. However another
agent hit him with a spatial distortion field to scramble his vision. While
he couldn't see the device to smash it, he warped a hole in the ground underneath
it. They tried to use the spectral disrupter again, but Sleepwalker covered
the bubbles with mud. While Sleepwalker was distracted with the bubbles,
another agent drove up behind him. The agent's vehicle ensnared Sleepwalker
in tempered steel cables and hoisted him into the air. While the Colonel
denounced Sleepwalker, the people of Sleepwalker's neighbourhood shouted
their support and encouragement. Sleepwalker flew high up in the air, taking
the vehicle with him. Then he dropped back down and the vehicle smashed into
the ground. The Colonel thought Sleepwalker dead, but he walked out of the
crash and grabbed Tolliver by his shirt. However Sleepwalker was talked into
surrendering when he realised the government would only send other agents
after him, endangering more innocent lives with pointless conflict.

(Sleepwalker#11) - The O.I.E. placed goggles on Sleepwalker
to prevent him releasing his warp beams. He was restrained and bombarded
with the energy residue the agents had collected from the many places Sleepwalker
had used his warp beam previously. While the energy was too much for Sleepwalker
to contain, the goggles prevented him from releasing it. The Colonel gloated
that when Sleepwalker returned to his human host the goggles would fall off
and the energy would destroy the hosts mind. However the innocent blood that
had been spilt as a result of the O.I.E.'s battle with Sleepwalker attracted
Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider attacked the O.I.E. and freed Sleepwalker from his
bonds. While Sleepwalker recovered his strength, Ghost Rider tore through
the O.I.E. and grabbed hold of Colonel Tolliver. He was meaning to give the
Colonel a dose of his penance stare when Sleepwalker intervened. Misunderstanding
the aliens intentions, Ghost Rider attacked Sleepwalker. Tolliver ordered
his men to withdraw in the hope the two hero's would kill each other. Sleepwalker
eventually managed to explain that he needed Tolliver to remove the goggles
in order to prevent Rick Sheridan's death. Ghost Rider demanded the colonel
remove the goggles. Tolliver agreed as long as Ghost Rider promised not to
hurt him. Ghost Rider reluctantly agreed, and Tolliver removed the goggles.
Sleepwalker released the energy in a blast that destroyed most of O.I.E.'s
equipment. While Ghost Rider had promised not to harm the Colonel, Sleepwalker
pointed out that he hadn't. But before he could do anything, Rick Sheridan
awoke and Sleepwalker vanished.

(Sleepwalker#14) - Perez petitioned the courts for an injunction
against Colonel Tolliver and won. The O.I.E. were forbidden to make any more
field operations. However Tolliver called the Thought Police and they went
to meet the Fantastic Four.

(Sleepwalker#15, 16 (bts)) - In an unauthorised field mission
Tolliver and the Thought Police tried to get Reed Richards to help destroy
Sleepwalker by invading his host's mind. However the mission was
unsuccessful.

Smith was the Director of the O.I.E. After his first field
operation to capture Sleepwalker failed, he was forbidden to make any more
field operations. However he called the Thought Police and took them to Four
Freedoms Plaza. He tried to convince Reed Richards to send him and his agents
into "Sleepwalkers dimension" (in truth it was the mind of Sleepwalkers host,
Rick Sheridan). However Richards refused to let Smith go. Reed took his place,
not wanting to put the Colonel at risk, and travelled with the Thought Police
into Rick's mind. When he realised the truth of the situation he left Rick's
mind, attempting to take the Thought Police out with him. While the Thought
Police resisted initially, Sleepwalker eventually made them leave. The Thing
wanted to deal with the Thought Police in his own unique fashion, but Colonel
Smith threatened to arrest him. The Colonel had access to the same advanced
equipment as the other O.I.E. agents. Also, as a federal agent, Colonel Smith
was trained in law enforcement, espionage, hand to hand combat and the use
of guns. I'm not saying he was exceptional in any of these areas
mind!

New York Police detective Cecilia Perez was investigating
Sleepwalker's activities. She had grown up in the area of Brooklyn where
Sleepwalker tended to operate and was pleased to hear that since his arrival
crime had fallen over 70%. When initially approached by the O.I.E. regarding
Sleepwalker she refused to transfer authority over to them. However, she
later changed her mind when Sleepwalker became involved with Lullaby. She
was assigned to the O.I.E.'s operation as an observer. Although she was unhappy
with their methods, she eventually had to persuade Sleepwalker to surrender
in order to avoid civilian casualties. Once Sleepwalker was in custody there
was little she could do to help him against the O.I.E, so instead she tended
to the innocent victims of their attack. Sometime soon after Sleepwalker
was freed by Ghost Rider she successfully petitioned the courts for an injunction
against the O.I.E. Perez was later called upon during the Mindspawn invasion.
She convinced the National Guard to call off an air-strike that would've
decimated the Brooklyn neighborhood in favor of calling the Avengers.

The O.I.E. agents made use of various hi-tech equipment in
their crusade against Sleepwalker. They had advanced energy tracking equipment
attuned to Sleepwalker's radiation signature (ranging from a large console
to a small hand held detector). While on assignment against Sleepwalker,
they wore body armour and used hi-tech energy weapons designed with Sleepwalker
in mind; immobilisation field generators to hold him in place, plasma energy
pulse rifles to blast him with, spectral disrupter fields that reflected
and scattered his warp beams, spatial distortion field that scrambled his
vision, and an all-terrain vehicle with an adapted crane that employed tempered
steel cables in order to ensnare him. They had a mindscan machine that probed
human minds for signs of alien presence. Their main tactic was to collect
energy residue from the many places Sleepwalker had used his warp beam and
project it via an energy cannon into Sleepwalkers body. Special goggles where
used to prevent Sleepwalker releasing the energy through his eyes. The energy
build up was intended to destroy the mind of Sleepwalker's human host.
